Totally agree Buffy isn’t the all of horror for sure (or even anything close to that), but the self-referential dry-witted gang of teenage friends fighting supernatural evil, that is very Buffy. Especially that self-aware tone, which is no bad thing. Whedon brought the same kind of perspective to his Marvel writing and it made those characters a ton more believable and relatable out of the gate. Not that I’m complaining, I loved Buffy, and I’m really enjoying Sabrina.

But Buffy was a long time ago now, and the degree to which other shows have moved on or outgrown those ideas, I would have liked to have seen that in Sabrina, or even taken a step further. It is a bit too comfortable in that sense. So far, I’ve not finished season one just yet, so I might be judging early. I am not sure I am articulating my point well, but I don’t want to give any examples for fear of spoilers for others 🙂
